Re: SetWaitableTimer confusions

bManualReset = FALSE.
Such timer becomes unsignaled automatically when single thread Wait operator succeeds. This means, client which calls WiitForSignalObject for a timer, doesn't need to reset this timer after successful wait operation.

bManualReset = TRUE.
After wait operation timer should be reset. It is possible that more than one threads may successfully wait for the same timer.

One more question about bManualReset parameter. In my limited experience, when we synchronize operations between multiple threads, we wait on events. I do not know what do you mean wait on timer? Could you clarify or refer to some simple sampels please?
